A new three-dimensional unit cell model has been developed for modeling three constituent phases including inclusion, interphase and matrix. The total elastic modulus of nano-composite is evaluated.  Numerical results are in good agreement with the previous proposed theoretical modeling. Higher matrix and inclusion elastic modulus both can dramatically increase the total elastic modulus. IS - 3 PB - OICC Press KW - Nano-clay, Polymer, Modeling, Elastic modulus, Nano-composites EN -
